Well a guy I know is doing a budget build and really hasn't decide what parts to get so I'm helping him out.
He has only so much that he can spend on this build. What he doing is playing games on a 23" led 1920x1080 monitor.
It for checking his emails, pics, gaming and watch videos. So how much ram can he get away with 4GB or 8GB. The setup I told him to build has 8GB. Like I said money kind of tight. Here a list of the parts I put together for him.
(he love this case and will not change his mind on this) LOL.
